Hurry Drive the Engine Singalong: A Sounds and Symbols ‘literacy through music’ book

The firemen are taking a quiet drive through the countryside and reviewing their procedures, when they are called to a barn which is on fire. Join the firemen on their mission to save the barn; sing along to the music provided and help to extinguish the fire. The musical accompaniment is easily accessed via a QR code inside the book. There is also a video on YouTube demonstrating how to deliver this activity which can also be accessed via a QR code in the book. Hurry Hurry Drive the Engine - Singalong is part of the Sounds and Symbols, 'Literacy-through-Music' series. The series is designed to promote foundational literacy competencies - language skills (vocalisation, vocabulary and comprehension), phonological awareness - awareness of syllables, rhymes and phonemes (individual units of sound), the ability to match alphabet characters to corresponding language sounds and the ability to synchronise to a regular beat or rhythm. The musical accompaniment and demonstration videos are often provided via a QR code inside the books. All music is syllabic to reinforce the concept of syllabification. >The musical accompaniment is easily accessed via a QR code inside the book.
